Getting a bit of a late start here on the E Coast. I'm letting a bottle of that White Oak Cab air out a bit in the decanter, looking forward to kicking off the evening's festivities. Let the weekend begin!

Last night was a date night at home with a roast chicken, and we decided to have an "educational" wine night to go along with it.

https://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=326314 12yr White Burg from Garagiste was actually quite nice. Not much fruit beyond some faint green apple. A lot of nuts, some hints of caramel. Fell apart after about 3hrs.

Minerally, intense Menuier vintage bubbles that didn't neccesarily compliment the chicken, but was layered, and had a finish that lasted for minutes. Not a champagne for every day, but definitely a learning experience that I'm glad that I got to participate in.

Also, in the interest of full disclosure- I'm ITB, selling wine for a living. None of my wines have ever been featured on Woot though, so don't fear the shilling.

BevMo. Drink for drink, cheaper than wine any day (since you drink so much less of it).

Tonight I had the Taittinger Brut Prélude Grand Crus Champagne NV. Very nice..
